~S~ An update. Some more thunder pics, this time from Majorca where the weather was a bit unsteady the first two days. I brought a mini tripod and the picks were shot from the back side of house where i stayed. From the same place where I´m sitting having a beer on another pic. Swep

Filling up those mugs with cold liquid reminds me about Finn´s preparing for an After work Sauna party.

Installed 4.09m yesterday on a clean version of 4.08m that I had on my desctop and it worked fine. I also downloaded the no-cd patch and installed/unzipped it into the game folder but it doesnt work. Any idéas? Swep Edit: Downloaded the wrong patch (rts.dll). Now working ok.

Thanks for sharing story and pictures Tribunus! Egypt has a very intresting history. Could one see any remains from WW2? Did you have nice cold Calsberg? Swep

Her little sister a little easier to start up. Nice flying too...

+1 Me too! Swep

Good work BG. Nice that you capture the progressing work for later days. By the way, got your own Radar?

I like the place of parking a FW-190 on Friars dogfight map on yesterday´s Co-op. Swep

My condolences to you and your family mate. Swep

Nice one Painless! And my mom has been asking asking me to repaint the entire house for a couple of years by now. But i prefere the blue side... hmmm.. I guess not? Swep

~S~ BG. I would recommend some Nobel stuff. But be carful.

Happy Bithday Jediteo and Greenstreaks!

I have used

Just a note. Like I mentioned yesterday on BG´s coop, i.e. on the dog fight map before starting co-op´s, the only callsign I could read was Ash´s. We were three planes starting at same time in the canyon, (blue side), and no one of them I could read their call sign. We were obviously less then 1000 meters away from each other. I even quit the whole game but it did not change anything. Later on, on the co-op´s, everything went back to normal. Strange.

Rowers to the Rescue!

I have come up to something. First I chose 4.08 unmodded, connect to dogs.servegame.org, fly around, quit the server. Directly after that (without quitting the game completly) I connect to "create a new server", cooperative, Toads Training Missions, German, select a plane and hit fly. Limited icons with no distance! I quit the game, re-enter cooperative, Toads Training missions, hit fly and now everything is back to normal again. I tried this several times and every time I first join the dogs server before I create a new server I get limited icons. I tried this both unmodded and modded 4.08, and the same happen. The strange thing is that I dont fly on dogs server before our saturdays coops, or any other coops during the week. Some screen shots: This how the icons looks like in Toads missions when not showing distance: Dogs server settings: Swep

Thanks Toad. I am lost to. I did also set Icons Off to off in the control panel. I dont change anything when jumping between versions. And, it obviously happens not only when I am the host. What is strange is that I think I never had the "distance" issue in on-line gaming like co-ops. There I can´t see the callsign, on some of the planes. Swep

Here is an example. Just flew Toads Training missions. First sortie I flew un-modded 4.08. No distance within the icons. I quit the game. Started modded 4.08 and all of a sudden I had distance again. Swithced back to un-modded 4.08 and now I got distance here as well. Could it be a mod issue? Un-modded 4.08 screen shot.

Ok thanks. But why arent the icons working full out when in co-ops? Sometimes I can see callsigns, sometimes not. From what I know BG have set colors, dots, callsign etc. for both enemys and friendlys from 1000 meters and up. Even on the dogs server some of the planes show their callsign, some are not. It could look different from one plane to another. Swep

Salute. I have noticed on BG´s co-ops, Friar´s co-ops and even when we are having a furball on dogs server, I am not able to see the callsign on some of you mates planes. I noticed last night when Sid forced me to crach, I thought it was an AI plane first. I did not see Sid´s callsign. This seems to happen randomly. All co-ops settings are forced by the host so my game control settings shouldnt make any difference, I think? I have a key binded for three different icon settings but it doesnt make any difference when tapping the key (well, it do change the icons, but I dont see the callsign). Operation Pedestal seems to work properly with its limited icons. I have also noticed when flying Toads training missions, that the distance setting sometimes disappears. When restarting the game it is back to normal again. Is there some settings in the config.ini file I could check? Just want to know who is chasing me.. Swep

FT, I checked which .dll files I have in my 1946 folder, and the strange thing is that the il2_core.dll is dated 2006-09-28. The il2_corep4.dll is dated 2009-07-21. Can I replace the "out-dated" dll file only? Did the mod-checker remove and replaced the other one? Swep

Nice pics, thanks for sharing. Looks like they set up the kites in a viewer friendly way with comfortable space between. Swep

~S~ Excuse a noob, (even though I build lots of models in my youth), but what is "weathering"? You do something to the paint so it looks worn/faint Swep?
